Launch another app from my standalone

[Adrian Williams]

Len,
I'm sure we're getting there! Your explanations are great. Just tried  
this all in the same script:

-- function
getPathToFile pFile
   put the filename of this stack into theFile  --removed unwanted  
'the' from your original
   set the itemdelimiter to slash
   put pFile into the last item of theFile
   return theFile
getPathToFile
--end function

--Use the function
put getPathFile(My App.exe) into tFile
launch tFile

but get an error if I use a space in the name of the file.
Error is:
Function: separator is not a ','
Object	Uninstall 3b
Line	put getPathFile(My App.exe) into tFile
Hint	App.exe

The filename has a space - is that a problem for a function?

Thanks,
Adrian
